Okay, so the long awaited weighted blankie finally has arrived from Santa. It is 60" x 80" and 20 lbs. I weigh 190 on the money. I set it all up with my regular blankets and gave it a shot. No-go after an hour. Way, way too hot. So, I pulled all the bedding off, turned the AC on full-blast, and tried again. Slept 6 hours all the way through. That has happened exactly once in the last, maybe, five months.

The questions are, should I have any other bedding along with this thing? How far up on my person should I pull it? Up to my chin? My sternal notch (that's the thingy in the center of your breastbone)? Where exactly? Just how exactly am I supposed to actually use this thing properly?

Many thanks to anyone able to help me out!!
